Letter To My Kids - Shaggy

Ya I gotta get real personal on this ya know for me
Screamin out two things
When I was young my ambition in life
Was to finish way ahead of the game
Such a shame ya'll payin the price in this race of fortune and fame
I really feel appologetic inside
Though you'd never think to give me the blame
Its when I look into your lives I wonder
If it was really worth all the pain
Now I know what it takes
In the heights of mistakes
Is it there in the mind of a child
Though it's all for our sakes
Still my heart how it breaks
Everytime that I see your smile
Check it
Conversation on the phone is fine but for me it could never replace
Being there to spend quality time tuck you in
To see the smile on your face
So when you're old enough to read these lines
I hope you never find yourself in my place
I hope you never feel as lonely
As I and miss the warmth of your childs embrace
Now I know what it takes in the heights of mistakes
Is it there in the mind of a child
No no no no
Though it's all for our sakes
Still my heart how it breaks everytime that I see your smile
Now I know what it takes in the heights of mistakes
Is it there in the mind of a child
No no no no
Though it's all for our sakes
Still my heart how it breaks
Everytime that I see your smile
Now I know what it takes
In the heights of mistakes
Is it there in the mind of a child
Though it's all for our sakes
Still my heart how it breaks
Everytime that I see your smile
